Safety First
This document provides all the necessary information to allow your Whelen product to be properly and safely installed.
Before beginning the installation and/or operation of your new product, the installation technician and operator must
read this manual completely. Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage.
• Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics,
systems and procedures.
• If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other
vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling
begins. Also de-burr the holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage
holes.
• If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro™, clean the
mounting surface with a 50/50 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly.
• Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or
located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a
projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owners manual for the air bag
deployment area. The User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based
on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.
• For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis ground must be
made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be connected directly to the NEGATIVE
(-) battery post (this does not include products that use cigar power cords).
• If this product uses a remote device for activation or control, make sure that this device is located in an area
that allows both the vehicle and the device to be operated safely in any driving condition.
• Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.
• This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity LEDs or a combination of these
lights. Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result.
• Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could result in premature lens cracking
(crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this condition have significantly reduced effectiveness and should be
replaced immediately. Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting
condition. Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product.
• It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and referred to when performing
maintenance and/or reinstallation of this product.
• FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS

Before installation, read all warnings on the previous page.
1. Dismantle the light by first removing the screw which
fastens the clamp ring that holds lens on and remove the
lens.
MOUNTING SCREWS
(Thru Hole Mounting)
2. Position the base housing onto the vehicle so that the lower light
device is facing directly rearward, locate the three mounting holes drilled into the base housing (See above) and
mark them off on the mounting surface of the vehicle.
3. Remove the unit and position the base gasket onto the vehicle. Line the gasket up with the marks you
made for the mounting screws and mark off the center wire access hole.
4. Drill the base mounting holes for the three #10 sheet metal screws and for the center wire access
hole (Grommet as needed. Customer supplied).
5. Feed the wires out of the unit, through the mounting gasket and through the access hole and
connect them to your power source. (See wiring)
6. Attach the base to the vehicle with the 3 sheet metal screws supplied,
then reassemble and test the unit.
OPTIONAL MOUNTING: To install the unit using “Thru Hole
Mounting”, on the mounting surface, drill two holes, sized for a
¼” sheet metal screw following the diagram above. Be sure
that these markings reflect the desired direction that the unit

will face once installed. Insert the customer supplied screws up
through the bottom of the base and tighten to secure.
WARNING! All customer supplied wires that connect to
the positive terminal of the battery must be sized to supply
at least 125% of the maximum operating current and
FUSED
at the battery to carry that load. DO NOT USE
CIRCUIT BREAKERS WITH THIS PRODUCT!

Lo Intensity / Violet Wire: This feature allows the user
to step the unit down to low power operation for nighttime use.
Apply positive voltage to the VIOLET wire to put the lighthead into low power. Remove voltage
from the VIOLET wire to restore high power operation.
Scan-Lock™/ White-Violet Wire: Flash pattern selection.
To change flash patterns, first turn the lighthead on:
TO CYCLE THROUGH ALL PATTERNS: Apply +12 volts to the WHITE-VIOLET wire for
less than 1 second and release to cycle forward. Apply +12 volts to the WHITE-VIOLET
wire for more than 1 second and release to cycle backward.
TO SET A PATTERN AS DEFAULT: Allow the desired pattern to run for more than 5
seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern when active.
TO RESET TO THE FACTORY DEFAULT PATTERN: Turn off power, apply +12 volts to
the WHITE-VIOLET wire, turn power on.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
CAUTION! DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT THESE LED’S WHILE THEY ARE ON.
MOMENTARY BLINDNESS AND/OR EYE DAMAGE COULD RESULT!
